Finally made it out to my first University of Louisville football practice session Monday, relieved that the long hot summer may finally be drawing to an end. Badly needing a fix after almost two months of withdrawal from UofL athletics.
Between 500 and 1,000 fans on hand, soaking in the 87-degree temperature and the high humidity, one eye on the football, the other on the vast supply of ice-cold Gatorade in the tent where the players get their practice break. No concession stands for the fans, someone is missing out on a profit opportunity.
Not disappointed, with an air of optimism surrounding the first combined practice involving the veterans and the newcomers.
